The study of complexes of groove binding ligand Hoechst 33258 (H33258) with Calf Thymus DNA has been carried out. The data obtained revealed that the melting curves of the complexes of H33258 with DNA are monophasic at low ligand concentrations (0 < r ≤ 0.2) and become biphasic at relatively high concentrations (0.2 < r ≤ 0.33). This effect was revealed to depend on the ionic strength of the solution, and can also occur at high concentrations of the ligand. Comparison of the obtained data with the results for poly(rA)-poly(rU) and poly(dA)-poly(dT) shows a coincidence in the case of DNA and poly(rA)-poly(rU), while in the case of poly(dA)-poly(dT) the melting curves become biphasic at low ligand concentrations and actually do not depend on the ionic strength of the solution.

Background: The processes of destruction and crosslinking of macromolecules occur simultaneously under the influence of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in synthetic polymers, dry DNA and their concentrated solutions. Objective: The effect of UV radiation on calf thymus DNA in dilute solutions subjected to UV- irradiation was studied in this work. Method: The calf thymus DNA was studied in dilute solutions using viscometry, absorption spectroscopy and electrophoresis. Results: It was shown, that at a low concentration of DNA in the buffer solution ([DNA] = 85 μg / ml) under the influence of UV radiation, the processes of destruction of macromolecules and an increase in their flexibility predominate, which is accompanied by a gradual decrease in the viscosity of their solution. In addition, due to the low concentration of the solution, intramolecular crosslinking of macromolecules predominates, which also reduces their size and, consequently, the viscosity of the solution. Conclusion: It was concluded, that in dilute DNA solutions, due to the predominance of the processes of intramolecular crosslinking of macromolecules over intermolecular, only constant processes of decreasing the sizes of DNA macromolecules occur. As a result, its solubility remains virtually unchanged during UV irradiation. The described comments are also excellently confirmed by the results of absorption spectroscopy and electrophoresis

Ce(IV) ions in acidic medium convert a carcinogenic non-aminoazo dye, 1-phenylazo-2-hydroxy-naphthalene (Sudan I) into an ultimate carcinogen, which binds to calf thymus DNA. The principal product of Sudan I oxidation by the Ce(IV) system is the benzenediazonium ion. A minor product is the dihydroxyderivative of Sudan I, 1-(4-hydroxyphenylazo)-2,6-dihydroxynaphthalene. Other minor coloured products (yellow and brown) were not identified. The principal product (the benzenediazonium ion) is responsible for the carcinogenicity of Sudan I, as it covalently binds to DNA. Ce(IV) ions in acidic medium represent a suitable model system, which imitates the activation route of carcinogenic azo dyes.
